My gorgeous wife Chapter 2011 - 1979: Who Is Crossing Whom

The firmament was shrouded by thunderclouds. Notably, these immense thunderclouds had significantly diminished in size. From the current vantage point, it was clear the thunderclouds' sole target was Li Chen.

This realization brought a secret sigh of relief to many assembled experts. The shrinking thunderclouds implied they would not be ensnared. While Li Chen was formidable, his strength was irrelevant to them. Being caught in such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation would have been disastrous collateral damage.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Tribulation appeared to possess its own sentience, exhibiting no interest in anyone but Li Chen. Its focus was entirely concentrated on this individual who dared to defy 'heaven's will'.

Within the Regretless Mountain Range, the overwhelming suppressive force represented the absolute 'heaven's will', an authority no one could oppose. Li Chen's current actions were in direct defiance of this 'heaven's will'.

Observing this spectacle, many were filled with disbelief, unable to fathom that someone would confront the highest will of the Regretless Mountain Range so brazenly. Yet, Li Chen's expression remained composed, even showing a hint of joy and... defiance!

"Come forth, let us see if you can extinguish me today!" he declared.

With a wild laugh, Li Chen faced the first wave of his Heavenly Tribulation. It manifested as a purple-gold thunderbolt, as thick as a human arm. As this bolt descended, it seemed to rip through the very fabric of the sky, tearing through endless space before striking directly at Li Chen.

Li Chen's demeanor was unperturbed. He didn't even draw his Red Moon sword, instead raising a single fist to meet the purple-gold thunder. "Boom!!"

Upon the collision of fist and thunderbolt, Li Chen's fist instantly cracked, flesh and blood erupting. However, in a mere blink, the scattered blood reformed, and his arm was restored. The purple-gold thunderbolt, on the other hand, was shattered by Li Chen's punch, dispersing into a torrent of electrical energy that surrounded him before being forcibly absorbed into his body.

Witnessing this incredibly astonishing scene, countless experts gasped in sheer awe. Tribulation was a perilous event that no one dared to trifle with. Regardless of an individual's power, extreme caution was paramount during tribulation, often involving intricate defensive formations.

However, Li Chen's method of facing the tribulation was entirely unprecedented. Many suspected Li Chen was a master of the Formation Path, otherwise, he couldn't have discerned the formation and forbidden laws at the secret realm's gate with just a glance. Of course, they remained unaware that Li Chen himself had orchestrated the Great Formation.

Nevertheless, his prowess as a Formation Path Grandmaster was undeniable. Typically, such an expert would erect layers of defensive and offensive formations, utilizing them as a strategic advantage during their tribulation. Yet, Li Chen showed no inclination for such measures, appearing to scorn their necessity.

Despite understanding the nature of the tribulation, he chose to face it fearlessly in this perilous location, ascending alone to confront the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. The sheer audacity and unwavering resolve commanded immense respect from all onlookers.

Irrespective of the ultimate outcome, Li Chen at this moment stood as a paragon of bravery, a formidable cultivator on the grand Dao! He had achieved what others desired but dared not, nor could, accomplish!

"The purple-gold thunder, as thick as an arm... during my Soul Crossing Realm tribulation, the final bolt was only this size."

"And this was merely his first wave," someone murmured in disbelief.

"Boom!" The first thunderbolt was dispersed. The thunderclouds above seemed to react with fury, churning violently in the sky. The lightning crackling within the roiling dark clouds caused many to tremble. Some began to silently retreat.

If the arm-thick purple-gold thunder was just an appetizer, surely more formidable attacks would follow. "Commencing with purple-gold thunder, this is certainly intriguing," Li Chen scoffed.

He gazed at the swirling thunderclouds and suddenly summoned the Red Moon into his hand. Without awaiting the second wave's descent, Li Chen abruptly ascended, his posture radiating supreme arrogance, and slashed directly towards the thunderclouds. This was not a matter of enduring the tribulation; it was an assault against the Heavenly Tribulation itself!

At this point, only nascent signs of the second wave were appearing. However, even as these signs emerged, before the second wave could even reach Li Chen, it was violently obliterated by his blade light. "Boom!"

As streaks of purple-gold lightning erupted, they clashed with the fierce blade light, unleashing a deafening roar.

The ink-black thunderclouds overhead shuddered violently.

"Selflessness!"

Witnessing the fragmented lightning, Li Chen, with the most imposing posture, activated his domain. He forcefully pilfered the energy from the shattered lightning arcs, absorbing it into his being. Under the intense baptism of the purple-gold thunder, Li Chen's body commenced a gradual transformation.

Dominating, arrogant!

This was the prevailing impression of Li Chen at that moment. In their collective memory, no one had ever crossed a tribulation in such a fashion. Such a method of tribulation-crossing was unprecedented, both here and in the outside world.

This was not merely crossing a tribulation; it was the tribulation bestowing power upon him!

"Again, bring it on!"

Li Chen bellowed, his blood essence surging like a tempest across the heavens and the earth, while the boundless power of laws also began to churn.

At this instant, even the ancient tree below quaked under the sheer pressure of this terrifying aura, it remained uncertain whether it was due to the formidable Heavenly Tribulation or Li Chen himself.

The entire world plunged into an eerie silence, save for Li Chen's boisterous laughter and the ominous rumbling within the thunderclouds; all other sounds ceased to exist.

In that moment, Li Chen observed indications that the thunderclouds were beginning to dissipate.

It wasn't that the tribulation lacked sufficient power, but rather that he had now become overwhelmingly strong.

It could be said that even prior to this tribulation, Li Chen's cultivation had already fully ascended to the Soul Realm. This tribulation was merely an opportunity to further augment his strength, serving as nourishment.

The tribulation seemed to perceive this, preparing to vanish on its own, unwilling to allow an existence like Li Chen to plunder its might.

"You won't escape!"

"Formation of the Space-Time Realm!"

"Boom!!"

Gazing at the receding thunderclouds, Li Chen suddenly thrust out a finger. With this single gesture, an immensely terrifying world descended. It was a realm constructed from a distinct power of space and time, mirroring Guangming's divine skills—the exclusive domain of experts in the Soul Realm!

Previously, before reaching the Soul Realm, the power of such a strike had only manifested in an embryonic form. Now, having ascended to the Soul Realm, the true might of this divine skill was unleashed.

Under the force of the One Finger Divine Power, the space-time world completely enveloped the surrounding firmament, effectively trapping the tribulation clouds within its confines!
